lyrics

Oh no, it's gone, all my motivation
Lost within the years I had
I'm a cog in this machine, broken in my energy
I just really want to go to sleep

Tell me what's next, chained to a cubicle desk
Losing all my faith in this system
Am I like everyone else? Faded from what I can tell?
I've been going through the motions again

It's alright, it's alright
I'll just be here wasting time
I found the paper on the desk there waiting

Numbers and figures are all that defined my life
They got my whole life on paper
I owe the future nothing when the past had everything
Stuffed within the white collar again

Chorus

Bills and debts and 401K's
Turning the file report to my mind's decay
Breaking my back on these useless degrees
At the end of the day they don't mean anything

Oh no it's gone
Motivation

Chorus
